How to French country / Sara Silm. - 255 pages : color illustrations, color maps ; 27 cm
"Color and design inspiration from Southwest France" -- Cover. Maps on endpapers.
From deep in the countryside of Southwest France comes a comprehensive guide to surrounding yourself with French country style wherever you are. Capturing the beauty and quietude of the region, interior designer and journalist Sara Silm distills the unique colors, textures and flavors of this distinctive corner of the world. Inherent in Sara's detailed knowledge of French country style are philosophical lines drawn between color, temporality, style, sensation and season, such that every design choice is a contemplation of time and place. Nowhere is this more clearly felt than in her unique color palettes, inspired by the patina of weather-beaten shutters, of local brick and fading roof tiles, violet-hued ice cream and rolling hills bursting to life in spring. Coupling detailed, practical design knowledge with evocative notes on rural French life and choice recipes, How to French Country provides a recipe for gentler living and for refocusing on all that we hold dear.
